DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (February 3, 2018) – Spencer Pumpelly began the 2018 IMSA Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge season with a win at Daytona International Speedway, January 26, driving with Rennsport One teammate Dylan Machavern in the No. 28 Porsche Cayman GT4 MR.Back with RS1 for a fourth season in the CTSC, Pumpelly moves from Street Touring (ST) to the team’s Grand Sport (GS) entry. Though the car remains a Porsche Cayman, it is now the GT4-spec version of the car. “The GS category is becoming deeper and more diverse as far as equipment goes,” Pumpelly explained. “It’s 100 percent GT4 cars now. The Audi, BMW and Mercedes are all new to the class and there are a lot more Ford Mustangs. There’s still some familiar McLarens and Porsches. It’s some of toughest racing in the country right now, as far as depth of field and variety of equipment.”

Joining Pumpelly in the No. 28 Porsche Cayman GT4 MR is the reigning CTSC GS Champion Machavern.At the start of the Daytona weekend, Pumpelly was tapped to pilot both of RS1’s Porsches, however, an accident for the No. 18 Porsche Cayman GT4 MR in qualifying left the car unable to compete in the race, this left Pumpelly to focus solely on the No. 28 which he qualified on pole with a lap of 1:55.136 (111.2 mph).
